This updated edition takes into account the latest findings of Bach
scholarship: Thus, for example, a newly-discovered copy of the first
edition containing inscriptions in Bach’s own hand could be
incorporated into the musical text of the Schübler Chorales.
For the Orgel-Büchlein, Bach’s autograph manuscript remains the
principal source. Yet a glance at its early dissemination among his
pupils reveals an abundance of readings that give interested organists
insights into how perhaps Bach’s most famous collection was played
at that time.
Unfortunately no autograph manuscripts survive regarding the early
chorale partitas. However the Foreword helps to solve the ‘riddle’ of
how these partitas were handed down.
Links to major sources have been provided in collaboration with the
Bach Archive Leipzig and its Bach digital database. The relevant page
of the source in question can be accessed quickly and conveniently via
shortlinks at http://links.baerenreiter.com. These links are checked
for their validity on a regular basis.
